TORONTO, ONT – A gunman acted alone in waging a weekend rampage that killed at least 22 people across northern and central Nova Scotia, Canadian police said Wednesday as they faced mounting criticism over not issuing a public emergency alert for the province.
Chief Supt. Chris Leather of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said investigators were still trying to determine whether anyone assisted the gunman leading up to the incident, but had determined he carried out the attack himself while disguised as a police officer in a vehicle marked to seem like a patrol car.
Authorities said the suspect, identified as 51-year-old Gabriel Wortman, was shot to death at a gas station at 11:26 a.m. Sunday — about 13 hours after the first 911 call came
